Can't miss game
Round 1 v Raiders, Sunday at Campbelltown Sports Stadium (H)
Wests Tigers started their inaugural season on a winning note and they'll likely need to do so again if they're to earn their first finals berth in 2024 with tough fixtures following their Round 1 clash against the Raiders. Canberra showed plenty of improvement throughout the season last year and will be a formidable foe in 2024. A sunny Sunday afternoon at Campbelltown has been a staple for NRL fans for decades; now it's the NRLW's turn to kickstart the year in style for Wests Tigers.
